Problem Analysis:
The image shows a pie chart representing the favorite dinner choices of 100 people. Each section of the pie chart is labeled with a food item and the number of people who chose it. The task involves answering specific questions based on the data provided in the pie chart.
#### Key Information from the Pie Chart:
-
Sandwich: 20 people
-
Spaghetti: 40 people
-
Turkey: 5 people
-
Taco: 25 people
-
Hamburger: Not explicitly labeled, but we can calculate it since the total survey size is 100 people.
Step-by-Step Solution:
#### 1.
How many people chose:
-
Spaghetti: The pie chart directly shows that 40 people chose spaghetti.
-
Sandwich: The pie chart directly shows that 20 people chose sandwich.
-
Hamburger: To find the number of people who chose hamburger, we use the fact that the total survey size is 100 people. The sum of all other choices is:
\[
40 \text{ (spaghetti)} + 20 \text{ (sandwich)} + 5 \text{ (turkey)} + 25 \text{ (taco)} = 90
\]
Therefore, the number of people who chose hamburger is:
\[
100 - 90 = 10
\]
#### 2.
Which was the favorite choice?
- The favorite choice is the one with the highest number of people. From the data:
- Spaghetti: 40 people
- Sandwich: 20 people
- Turkey: 5 people
- Taco: 25 people
- Hamburger: 10 people
- The highest number is 40, which corresponds to spaghetti. Therefore, the favorite choice is
spaghetti.
#### 3.
Which was the least favorite choice?
- The least favorite choice is the one with the lowest number of people. From the data:
- Spaghetti: 40 people
- Sandwich: 20 people
- Turkey: 5 people
- Taco: 25 people
- Hamburger: 10 people
- The lowest number is 5, which corresponds to turkey. Therefore, the least favorite choice is
turkey.
#### 4.
Compare using: <, >, =
- We can compare the choices using the symbols `<`, `>`, and `=`. For example:
- Spaghetti > Sandwich (40 > 20)
- Sandwich > Hamburger (20 > 10)
- Hamburger > Turkey (10 > 5)
- Taco > Turkey (25 > 5)
- Spaghetti > Taco (40 > 25)
